The Jets sent out a release indicating that goalie Ondrej Pavelec will be placed on injured reserve after he sustained a lower-body injury in a collision with Coyotes captain Shane Doan Saturday night in the 2nd period.  The Jets have called up Connor Hellebuyck from the Manitoba Moose to backup Michael Hutchinson.

When we hear more from Coach Maurice today we will update the post.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
